Art - Three-Dimensional

Program Description
The Three-Dimensional Art program offers extensive training in sculpture, ceramics and creative problem solving.
Students are prepared to pursue further study at four year institutions, pursue a career as a studio artist or succeed in any
career pursuit where creative problem solving is paramount. The program features state-of-the-art facilities, experienced,
dedicated and diverse faculty, student-centered learning, multi-cultural perspectives, visual literacy training and a
commitment to the highest standards of excellence in education and community service. Students may select from several
studio art programs: Art—Two-Dimensional; Art—Three-Dimensional; Graphic Arts; and Studio Arts for Transfer (AA-
T). These programs are designed to develop visual skills in a variety of art media. Students completing the requirements
for the associates degree in Art—Three-Dimensional will also meet requirements for the Studio Arts AA-T degree. Art—
Three-Dimensional is a more rigorous program, giving student artists a deeper foundation for further study and artistic
practice.
